| 3 | +================== |

| 5 | +SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, is a payment-integration initiative |
| 6 | +of the European Union for simplification of bank transfers denominated |
| 7 | +in EURO. SEPA Direct Debit allows you to withdraw money from the bank |
| 8 | +accounts of your customers with their approval. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +SEPA is supported by the banks of the 28 EU member states as well as |
| 11 | +Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco and San Marino. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +With Odoo, you can record customer mandates, generate an SDD XML file |
| 14 | +containing customer payments and upload it in your bank interface. The |
| 15 | +file follows the SEPA Direct Debit PAIN.008.001.02 specifications. This |
| 16 | +is a well-defined standard that makes consensus among banks. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Configuration |
| 19 | +------------- |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Go in :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings` |
| 22 | +and activate the SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) Feature. Enter the Creditor |
| 23 | +Identifier of your company. This number is provided by your bank. |

| 31 | +Direct Debit Mandates |
| 32 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Before withdrawing money from a customer bank account, your customer has |
| 35 | +to sign a mandate. Go in :menuselection:`Accounting --> Sales --> Direct Debit Mandates` |
| 36 | +and create a new mandate. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +.. image:: media/payment_sepa02.png |
| 39 | + :align: center |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +.. tip:: SEPA Direct Debit only works between IBAN Bank Accounts. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Once you have entered all the information in the customer mandate, you |
| 44 | +can print it and ask your customer to sign it. Once it is done, you can |
| 45 | +upload the mandate signed by your customer on the mandate in Odoo. |
| 46 | + |

| 49 | + |
| 50 | +You can now validate the mandate. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Customer Invoices |
| 53 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Let's create an invoice for that customer. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +When you will validate this invoice, the payment will be automatically |
| 58 | +generated and your invoice will be directly marked as paid. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +.. tip:: |
| 61 | + If you already had some invoices for that customer that could be |
| 62 | + paid using that mandate, it's still possible to do it. Go on the |
| 63 | + invoice, click on register payment and choose the Sepa Direct Debit as |
| 64 | + payment method. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Generate SDD Files |
| 67 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +You can generate the SDD File with all the customer payments to send to |
| 70 | +your bank directly from the accounting dashboard : |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +.. image:: media/payment_sepa04.png |
| 73 | + :align: center |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +You select the payments in the list that you want to include in your SDD |
| 76 | +File, click on action and select "Generate Direct Debit XML". |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +.. image:: media/payment_sepa05.png |
| 79 | + :align: center |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +You can now download the XML file generated by Odoo and upload it in |
| 82 | +your bank interface. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +.. tip:: |
| 85 | + You can retrieve all the generated XML by activating the developer |
| 86 | + mode and going in :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Payments --> SDD Payment File`. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Close or revoke a mandate |
| 89 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +The Direct Debit mandate will be closed automatically once the end date |
| 92 | +defined on it is reached. However, you can **close** a mandate earlier |
| 93 | +than initially planned. To do that, simply go on the mandate and click |
| 94 | +on the "Close" button.The end date of the mandate will be updated to |
| 95 | +today's date. This means you will not be able to pay invoices with an |
| 96 | +invoice date superior to this end date. Be careful, once a mandate is |
| 97 | +closed, it cannot be reopened. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +You can also **revoke** a mandate. In that case, you won't be able to |
| 100 | +pay any invoice using that mandate anymore, no matter the invoice |
| 101 | +date.To do that, simply go on the mandate and click on the "Revoke" |
| 102 | +button. |
